ASTRAEA
Greek Justice Goddess
Also known as Astrea, Astria
Disappointed virgin Goddess of Justice who became Virgo
Daughter of Zeus and Themis (or occasionally Astraeus and Eos), she took became a Goddess of Justice. Early in the Golden Age she opened an office on planet Earth which allowed her to romp quite happily amongst the mortals with her other friends and relations.
But humanity simply couldn’t maintain their original good behavior and standards slipped. With evil on the increase, her immortal friends gradually left the planet to fend for itself.
One day Astraea was the only deity left standing. So embarrassing for a virgin goddess to be hanging around all that debauchery. So she slipped off to the Heavens with her sister Aidos and become the constellation Virgo.
There are still hopes that she may return some day to kickstart another Golden Age. Fingers crossed.
